800% Growth Spirits Brand Launches Crowdfunding with Legion M

PRESS RELEASE posted by Chay Spirits

CHAY SPIRITS ENTERS CROWDFUNDING IN ADVISORY PARTNERSHIP WITH FAN-OWNED ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY LEGION M

LOS ANGELES, CA - March 3, 2026 - Chay Spirits, one of the fastest-growing emerging brands redefining the "better-for-you" alcohol category, has officially entered the crowdfunding world. The company has partnered with Legion M, the world's first fan-owned entertainment company, which will serve in an advisory role as Chay Spirits expands its community-first growth strategy.

Founded by entrepreneur Chase Glick, Chay Spirits was built from a deeply personal reset. After transforming his own life and losing over 150 pounds, Glick recognized that alcohol is a category not evolved alongside modern lifestyles. Consumers were training harder, eating cleaner, and demanding transparency — yet the cocktail aisle looked the same as it had for decades.

Chay Spirits was created to challenge that status quo.

The Chicago-based brand produces ultra-clean vodka and ready-to-drink cocktails including Lemon Drops, Mojitos, and Espresso Martinis — crafted with all natural ingredients, zero sugar, low carbs, plant-based sweeteners, and proprietary formulations that use allulose to deliver full flavor without glycemic impact. Chay Spirits owns its formulas and has positioned itself as a modern alternative in a legacy-dominated industry.

The results have followed. Chay Spirits reports 800 percent year-over-year growth from 2024 to 2025 and is now available in more than 450 retail and on-premise accounts across multiple states. In a category known for high-profile acquisitions and billion-dollar exits, Chay Spirits is rapidly emerging as a brand to watch.

"From day one, Chay Spirits was built to challenge a category that hasn't evolved with modern lifestyles," said Chase Glick, Founder and COO of Chay Spirits. "This has never been about being trendy. It has been about building something that reflects how people actually live today. Partnering with Legion M allows us to scale that community-driven approach and invite more people to participate in the future of this category."

By entering crowdfunding, Chay Spirits is not only raising capital — it is expanding what the brand calls "Chay Nation," a fast-growing community of customers, investors, and advocates who believe alcohol can be both exceptional and aligned with modern living.

The partnership with Legion M reinforces that ethos. Known for democratizing entertainment investment and giving fans ownership in projects, Legion M brings experience in building movement-driven communities around bold ideas. Together, the two companies aim to combine media, culture, and spirits into a powerful next-generation growth platform.
